Kotetsu Boku faces Bruno Pucci at ONE: ‘Eternal Glory’

Former lightweight champion Kotetsu Boku will be back in action at ONE: ‘Eternal Glory’. The 41 year old faces off against BJJ black belt Bruno Pucci at Istora Senayan on January 19th.

Boku (26-12-2) became the promotion’s first ever lightweight champion when he stopped Zorobabel Moreira in 2012. He is currently campaigning at featherweight but has not fought at all this year after suffering a devastating stoppage loss to Christian Lee in 2017.

These days Pucci (6-3) is better known as being Angela Lee’s husband. But the Brazilian has been competing for ONE Championship since 2013 and tends to either win by submission or get knocked out: in nine fights he has never been the distance.

Pucci is 13 years younger than Boku and this represents a relatively quick turnaround for the Brazilian who won by submission last month. Coincidentally that matchup also took place in Jakarta, and both men have fought twice in the city.
